Gastropub To Open In Columbia Heights

From the minds behind Hank’s Oyster Bar, DC's new "it" area, Columbia Heights will be the new home to CommonWealth, a new, "chef-driven, British inspired restaurant with a public house atmosphere."

CommonWealth will be located at the corner of Irving St. NW and 14th St NW in the heart of Columbia Heights, and will, "create a gathering place in the neighborhood of Columbia Heights, a place to relax and nourish one’s self with farm-to-table fare."

The menu will include such British classics as fish and chips, bangers and mash, and steak and Guinness pie, as well as a weekly "Sunday Roast" meal.

The restaurant will sit 150 with a private dining room for 30, and room for 40 on the outdoor patio.

CommonWealth will be open sometime mid-summer, and will be open Tuesday through Sunday.
